We are thrilled to announce the release of our next-generation Barcode Reader Version 3 (v3), taking the barcode scanning functionalities of the Scanbot Barcode Reader SDK to a whole new level. Over the past two years, Scanbot noticed a rapid increase in the number of barcode scanning activities across many industries. We have taken this as an opportunity to develop our Barcode Reader v2 even further – with success! After months of development, our developers created the Scanbot Barcode Reader v3 with new and unmatched functionalities

The new version of the Scanbot Barcode Scanning SDK

High Speed 

The Scanbot Barcode Reader v3 comes with an exceptional improvement in scanning speed and accuracy.

With these improvements, companies can boost the productivity of their employees or customers profoundly and automate their internal as well as external processes.

Extraordinary accuracy

The new version of our high-performance Scanbot Barcode Reader allows users to scan barcode symbologies in any condition: 

  • Different angles
  • Distance >1 m 
  • Poor lighting 
  • Corrupted or blurred barcodes
  • Tiny barcodes
  • Low background contrast
  • Codes that are partially covered in ink due to rubber stamps 

No more problems with poor-quality barcodes. Let our Barcode Reader SDK be the solution for any of your barcode-related issues!

Next-generation barcode scanning – Increase productivity while decreasing costs

By implementing Scanbot’s mobile barcode scanning solutions, our customers benefit from a multitude of advantages daily. Here are just a few of them:

With the Scanbot SDK, users can take 113 scans/minute, providing enterprise-grade barcode scanning on smart devices.

Scanning filters

Adjust the Barcode Reader to scan only certain types of barcodes that are required. This helps our customers to avoid errors from users and optimize the scanning processes.
